Quick Facts
Rich History of United Kingdom and Heritage
From the early medieval period, Anglo-Saxon kingdoms unified into the Kingdom of England by 927 AD while the Kingdom of Scotland formed under David I in the 12th century; the 1066 Norman Conquest fused Norman and Anglo-Saxon culture, establishing a centralized monarchy and common law. The 1707 Acts of Union merged England and Scotland into the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the 1801 union with Ireland created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland .
In the 19th century, the UK led global industrialisation and built the world’s largest empire. Two world wars in the 20th century weakened its imperial power, spurring rapid decolonisation after 1945. The UK joined the European Economic Community in 1973, withdrew in 2020, and today remains a major global financial, cultural, and diplomatic centre balancing tradition with innovation .
